Out of curiosity, how many people are still actually participating and how many people are trying to participate but cant because of issues like the timezone?

I think it's hard for the non-American participants to do too much right now. The stream is at a rather uncomfortable hour, and there's not a lot of reporting going on so our knowledge of the situation is not up to date.
I realize I'm far from an active participant, but short of logging in (which I have never done in this game), I don't know what our current situation it like, either in terms of military defense or domestic matters.

I'm struggling to keep up with the streams, so anything I suggest tends to have been covered already...

Maybe we can just do a quick 10-20 minute status report for our demos, cities, the builds, and the unit situation instead of just jumping into talking about moves at the beginning of the stream? Noble's doing a really good job, but I think right now we are presenting too much depth (ie, we look at something and then start talking about it) rather than breadth (quick info dump).
For example for each city, just look a city, talk about what we plan to do with it for the next one or two turns: "We plan to draft this city and then double whip this knight next turn." or " We have some maces moving in to garrison this city." For each stack "Okay, this is the situation around [city], there are one-two-three Poly rifles advancing on it, we plan to hit it with this stack of maces and catapults next turn." or "CP's cuir stack has moved south so it looks like we have about three turns before they attack our cities, lets come up with a plan on this." Etc. Just real quick and simple info dumps. The preview streams have been really good but I think we need to get more succint and structured if that's possible  You won't have to answer as many questions afterwards.I guess since I can make about 50% of these, I can type up a quick list of bullet points to talk about. I could probably throw together a small report but I would need a pile of screenshots sent to me.

And according to Civstats we have not finished our last turn? Did we just let the clock run out? Will try to log in to look around, hopefully not misclicking anything. mh

I believe you can watch with the Twitch app. I haven't actually tried it but they do have an app and you can visit channels on it, so I don't see any other purpose for it. I'm sorry about the lack of reporting, but honestly the best way to keep up with the game is to watch the streams. You don't have to watch every minute of them. Yeah, I let the clock run out on the last 20 minutes instead of ending turn. It didn't make a difference.

Looks like Civplayers lets the clock run out on this one. Will log in and grab some screenshots.
